Deuteronomy 8:11 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 8:11

Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God
The Father of mercies and fountain of goodness, the author and donor of every good and perfect gift. Plenty is apt to induce a forgetfulness of God, when on the contrary one would think it should keep him in continual remembrance, and engage to daily thankfulness to him:

in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes,
which I command thee this day;
gave a repetition of, and in the name of God afresh enjoined them, even laws moral, ceremonial, and judicial, which, when not observed, God is forgotten.

Deuteronomy 8:11 In-Context

9 The land will have enough food for you, and you will have everything you need. The land has rocks with iron ore, and you will be able to mine copper ore in the hills.
10 When you have eaten all you want, thank the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.
11 Be careful that you don't forget the LORD your God. Don't fail to obey his commands, rules, and laws that I'm giving you today.
12 You will eat all you want. You will build nice houses and live in them.
13 Your herds and flocks, silver and gold, and everything else you have will increase.
